"The Stay was nice. You can request them to clean or not clean your room if you are staying at the hotel for more then 2 days. It's not a far walk from the train station. If it rains, you can borrow an umbrella. They also have recommendations around the area for good eats and popular places to go to."

It's one of the commercial centers of Tokyo, which explains why Akasaka boasts a lion's share of swanky, upmarket hotels – many of which count as attractions in their own right. Chill out in their cocktail and Champagne bars, not to mention the wealth of restaurants serving everything from exquisite tempura dishes to traditional Japanese barbecue, or yakiniku. Prices can be high, but you can bag great deals at lunchtime.

There's one major reason why Asakusa should be on your Tokyo to-do list: the ancient Buddhist temple Senso-Ji, which is the largest in the city and dates right back to 645 AD. Entering through the iconic Thunder Gate, you'll be dazzled by the Nakamise arcade, with its colorful stalls selling everything from kimonos to decorative fans. You can also admire Senso-Ji's ornate pagoda and the nearby Asakusa Shrine.

Fashionistas flock to this part of Tokyo, and with good reason. It's the place to find high-end department stores as well as boutiques emblazoned with the names of the world's best-known fashion houses. Ginza's not just about splashing the cash, though. Iconic structures can also be seen first hand, from the clocktower on the Wako Building to the towering, neon-lit glass cylinder of the San'ai Building.

Taking its name from the Nihonbashi Bridge (stone now, but the original wooden one was built back in 1603), this is one of Tokyo's business hotspots. And you'll be able to tell that just from looking up at the magnificent buildings, including the sleek Mitsui Tower. It's also the headquarters of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, though casual travelers will probably be more interested in the district's department stores and restaurants.

Shinjuku train station is the busiest in the world, which gives you an idea of just how buzzing this district is. It's a place of contrasts – there are the alleys of Golden Gai, whose bars are a haven for artists and musicians, and then there are the whopping skyscrapers of the Nishi-Shinjuku business zone. For serenity amid the urban sprawl, relax amid the cherry blossoms of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

Best Tokyo hotels

Tokyo HotelsThe neon-drenched streets of Tokyo can be daunting for first time visitors, with giant skyscrapers and crosswalks crowded with locals and tourists walking quickly through the city streets. However, it's a friendly city where westerners are given a warm welcome, and you'll soon adjust to the amiable yet reserved Japanese people, with many of their subcultures on display from brightly dressed Harajuku girls to the serious salarymen who work in the shiny high rise office blocks. The city is at its brightest at night, with huge billboards and shop signs lit up to grab your attention, and you can join the ultra-stylish locals in underground bars and clubs with their pounding basslines. Things to seeNippon Budokan has a classic Japanese facade, yet this impressive arena has been the site of many memorable rock concerts, some of them committed to famous live albums. From Bob Dylan to Blur, many rock and pop acts have performed here at the height of their fame, and if you book a ticket to a show here you can join 20,000 other screaming fans for a transcendent rock experience. If you want to learn a little more about Japanese culture then the peaceful woods surrounding the Meiji Jingu Shrine are a great place for a stroll, and you will be able to learn the grand history of emperors and deities that make up the Shinto culture, with a small museum and a picture gallery amongst the buildings on the complex. By contrast, the Tokyo Sky Tree shows the modern vision of Japan, standing proudly above the skyline and lit in bright colors at night. This tower ranks amongst the tallest structures in the world, and the high speed elevators can zip you to the 450th floor for spectacular views around the city, or you can enjoy the restaurants and cafés on the 350th floor.

There's a wide choice of guestrooms available, with suites and deluxe upgrades to give you more space, and you can enjoy electric control panels with mood lighting options, satellite television channels, and telephones with Skype so you can enjoy a futuristic atmosphere. Where to stayAt the junction of several major shopping and entertainment streets is the infamous Shibuya Crossing. When there's a break in the traffic you'll see people frantically running in different directions to quickly cross the road, and this intersection becomes especially busy on weekends with shoppers and tourists trying to negotiate a space for themselves and their many shopping bags. Shinjuku is also a busy area, although the foot traffic is often composed of commuters rushing to and from the train station, and amongst the gleaming skyscrapers you'll find important government buildings, as well as the headquarters of many electronics corporations and media companies. How to get to TokyoTokyo's sprawling Narita International Airport is a major source of air traffic for the city, with flights landing here from large cities across the world.

It has the advantage of being on the Tokyo Monorail system, with services to the centrally located Hamamatsucho Station taking about 25 minutes.
